Daytona International Speedway History
The history of automotive competition in the Daytona Beach area goes back
to 1903. It is recorded that a friendly
wager between two gentlemen debating
who had the fastest horseless carriage
spawned “The Birthplace Of Speed.” The
wide, hard-packed sands of “The World’s
Most Famous Beach” were the scene of
nearly 30 years of speed trials. In addition, the 1905 movie “Automobile Races
at Ormond, Fla.” probably added to the
area’s draw.
Among the most famous of the pioneers of speed was Ransom E. Olds, later
of REO and Oldsmobile fame, who was
the first man to race on the beach in a
timed run.
R. E. Olds and his “Pirate” run on the beach
in 1903.
The final speed trials were held in
March, 1935. The trials then moved to the
Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Daytona
Beach had earned a world-wide reputation
as “The Birthplace of Speed;” now it
needed something to continue that legacy.
Stock car racing on the beach
began the following year and lasted
until 1958. The sport wasn’t new, but
racing on a course which combined a
portion of the beach and a public road
was. Auto racing history was being
written on the sands of Daytona. The
original 3.2-mile course had the north
turn located near the center of town.
The course ran approximately 1.5
miles north on the beach and then 1.5
miles south on a paved, public roadway with the two portions connected
by banked sand turns.
A local mechanic by the name of Bill
France entered the inaugural race on
March 8, 1936 and finished fifth. It was
the beginning of an era. In two years time,
a two-wheeled version of beach racing
history began with the inaugural Daytona
200 motorcycle road race on January 24,
1937. The racing was halted during World
War II in the interest of national defense.
Stock car racing resumed on April 14,
1946. The motorcycle races resumed the
following year, February 27, 1947.
France put aside his driving gear at
the end of the 1946 season to concentrate
on the demands of being a promoter of
both stock car and motorcycle races on the
beach. Soon after, in early 1947, he founded NASCAR, the National Association
for Stock Car Auto Racing.
In 1948, a new beach/road course
greeted the racers. Daytona Beach and
the surrounding areas were growing.
The organizers were forced to move
the circuit down the beach toward
Ponce Inlet. The new course for the
stock cars measured 2.2-miles with a
longer 4.1-mile course for the motorcycles. Both courses shared the same
south turn.
In 1953, France saw that the days
of racing on the beach-road course
were numbered due to the spreading land
usage of a rapidly growing population and
huge race crowds. France put his plan for
the future of racing in Daytona into
motion on April 4, 1953 with a proposal to
construct a permanent speedway facility.
The last NASCAR race held on the beach in 1958.

Daytona International Speedway History
On June 6, 1955, the dream of a
speedway in Daytona took on the foundation of reality for the man friends, fans
and the newspapers called “Big Bill.” A
contract between the Racing and
Recreation Facilities Authority, created by
the city and county commissioners on
August 16, 1954, and the Daytona
Motor Speedway Corporation, headed
by France, was signed to operate the
proposed $2,500,000 facility.
The projected opening date for the
track was July 4, 1957. It was an optimistic target given the downturn of the
economy in the ensuing years, which all
but put an end to the sale of bonds to
finance the project.
In the end, the renamed Speedway
District Commission signed a new contract with France on November 8, 1957,
allowing the corporation headed by him
to lease the property. Thus, the 1958
race would mark the final time the beachroad course would be used for auto racing.
The search for private funding began
immediately, with ground clearing of an
area adjacent to the city’s airport beginning 17 days later on November 25,
1957. The plans called for a 2.5-mile trioval-shaped circuit boasting 31-degree
banking in the turns. The impressive
plans were regarded at the time as blueprints for a marvel of engineering and
construction — or a fantastic dream that
would never reach completion. The
doubters never took into consideration the
resourcefulness, drive and determination
of “Big Bill.”
On February 22, 1959, Daytona
International Speedway, the “World
Center of Racing,” hosted the first
Daytona 500. The posted awards for the
“500-Mile International Sweepstakes”
totaled $67,760. A field of 59 cars took
the green flag for the start. A crowd of
over 41,000 was on hand to witness the
beginning of another chapter in the history
of racing in Daytona.
The finish of the race also went into
the history books. The finish appeared too
close to call, but Johnny Beauchamp
savored the celebration in victory lane.
The results were posted as “unofficial.” It
took three days to decide that Lee Petty
was the winner in what appeared to be a
dead heat between Petty and Beauchamp
— with Joe Weatherly making it threewide at the finish line, although he was

Daytona 500 at Daytona International
Speedway in 1959.
two laps down to the front runners. A clip
of newsreel film provided the conclusive
evidence that Petty was the winner — by
about two feet!
A number of famous pioneers of
speed have been recognized by the
Speedway with the naming of grandstands
in their honor: Ralph DePalma; Barney
Oldfield; Ray Keech; Major H.O.D.
Segrave of Great Britain, the first man to
go over 200 mph; Sir Malcolm Campbell,
also from Britain, who set the ultimate
speed record on the beach of 276.82 mph;
and Frank Lockhart, who died in an accident on the beach while attempting to set
a speed record.
In addition, three stock car drivers
who raced on both the beach and the high
banks of Daytona International Speedway
— Joe Weatherly, Fireball Roberts and
Tiny Lund — have grandstands named in
their honor.
The Daytona 200 motorcycle race
continued to be run on the beach through
1960. In 1961, the Daytona 200 moved to
the Speedway.

Economic Impact
Study: DIS Generates $1.9 Billion Annually
Daytona International Speedway, host of NASCAR’s biggest, richest and most pestigious event –
The Daytona 500 – has an annual overall economic impact of more than $1 billion.
According to the report conducted by The Washington Economics Group, Inc. and Chuck Yaros in
late 2007, Daytona International Speedway and Daytona 500 Experience boast a total economic
impact of $1.9 billion annually. The economic impact study was conducted over a several month
period utilizing the IMPLAN model, which analyzes both the direct and indirect benefits of an
economic producer in a region and statewide.
Daytona International Speedway’s annual calendar features high profile sanctioning bodies such as
NASCAR, Grand-Am, American Motorcycle Association (AMA) and World Karting Association
(WKA). From stock cars’ most prestigious race – the Daytona 500 – to sports cars’ most prestigious
road race – the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the Speedway is active with activity more than 300 days each
year.
“For many years, Daytona International Speedway has been an economic catalyst in the state of
Florida,” said Speedway President Robin Braig. “Through the millions of fans that visit our facility
throughout the year, we are proud to fulfill our commitment to give back to our neighbors in
Daytona Beach, Volusia County and the state of Florida on an annual basis.”
The WEG study also found:
• DIS and Daytona 500 Experience operations create nearly 32,000 jobs.
• DIS and Daytona 500 Experience provide more than $856 million dollars in labor income
annually.
• DIS and Daytona 500 Experience generate $155.4 million dollars annually in tax revenue to
state and local governments.
The report also noted that International Speedway Corporation, the parent company of Daytona
International Speedway, announced that its operations generate $2.3 billion in economic benefit
each year.
“The results of this study are very compelling and speak to the significant contribution our
operations make to the annual economy of the state and our local communities,” added ISC
President Lesa France Kennedy. “Our events attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Florida
each year. These visitors stay locally and spend money at area attractions and other businesses. We
could not continue to succeed without the support of our local residents and officials, and are proud
that our operations are able to give back to these communities in such a strong way.”

DIS Grandstand Biographies
DeWayne Louis (Tiny) Lund (Honored in 1994)
Lund’s greatest victory came in the 1963 Daytona 500.
Lund arrived at Daytona that year without a ride and was
planning to work as a crew member. But after rescuing
Marvin Panch from a burning Maserati-Ford that Panch
was practicing for a Continental Sports Car race, a ride

Land Speed Records in Daytona Beach.
Ray Keech (Honored in 1959)
Keech was a famed dirt track and board track driver from
Philadelphia. He captured the 1929 Indianapolis 500 and
set a world speed record on Daytona Beach. Keech might
be the only driver to be awarded a race victory
posthumously. In 1929 in Altoona, Pa., Keech was leading
the race when he crashed and was killed. The accident
destroyed a section of the race track and prevented the race
from being completed, so Keech was awarded the victory.
Barney Oldfield (Honored in 1959)
Oldfield, primarily known for his exploits on the dirt
tracks, first gained famed for driving the No. 999, Henry
Ford’s first race car. In 1904 at Daytona, Oldfield drove the

mph. His arch-rival was Ralph DePalma.
Richard Petty (Honored in 1999)
Nicknamed “The King,” Petty won a record 200 NASCAR
races, seven NASCAR titles and seven Daytona 500s. He
produced a famous Daytona 500 finish in 1976, when he

National) starts in his career. Roberts was amazing at
Daytona International Speedway, becoming the first driver
to complete a sweep of all NASCAR events in one season, winning the Daytona
500, the Firecracker 250, a 100-mile qualifier and a 10-lap sprint in his No. 22
Pontiac in 1962.
Sir Henry Segrave (Honored in 1959)
Seagrave, a British racing hero, became the first driver to

August 16, 1954: Bill France Sr. signed a contract with city of Daytona Beach officials to build
what would become Daytona International Speedway “The World Center of Racing.”
November 25, 1957: Ground clearing began for the Daytona Beach International Speedway.
February 20, 1959: Two days before the Daytona 500, Daytona International Speedway held a
100-mile convertible race. The convertible race was immediately followed by a 100-mile race for
Grand National “hard-top” cars – thus twin qualifying races which are today called The Gatorade
Duel At Daytona.
Lee Petty (42) nips Johnny
Beauchamp (73) in the inaugural
Daytona 500 in 1959.
February 22, 1959: The inaugural Daytona 500 – also known as
the “500-Mile International Sweepstakes” – was held with hard
tops and convertibles. It was the only Daytona 500 to ever run with
convertibles. The finish of the caution-free inaugural Daytona 500
was too close to call, but Johnny Beauchamp went to Victory Lane
and savored the celebration although the results were posted as
“unofficial.” Sixty-one hours later, Lee Petty was the winner in
what appeared to be a dead heat between Petty and Beauchamp –
with the lapped car of Joe Weatherly making it a three-wide finish
at the checkered flag. A clip of newsreel footage proved that Petty
was the winner by a few feet.
July 4, 1959: The inaugural Firecracker 250 – later increased to 400 miles – was held and won by
local driver Glenn “Fireball” Roberts.

sailed over the guardrail out of the race track in separate accidents; both, oddly enough, on Lap 37.
Lee Petty suffered serious injuries in the second qualifying race while Richard only suffered some
minor scrapes and a sprained ankle in his accident in the first qualifying race. Ironically, Johnny
Beauchamp, the driver involved in the photo finish in the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959, was part
of the Lee Petty accident and, he too, went over the wall sustaining minor injuries.
February 16, 1961: Marvin Panch won the Daytona 500 with an average speed of 149.601 mph for
the entire 500 miles, a speed faster than the pole-winning speed of that year’s Indianapolis 500.
August 27, 1961: Art Malone drove Bob Osecki’s Hemi-powered, highly modified Indy car named
the “Mad Dog IV” to a new world closed-course record speed of 181.561 mph.
February 11, 1962: The inaugural Daytona Continental, now
known as the Rolex 24, was held as a three-hour race run counterclockwise on the 3.81-mile road course. Dan Gurney, driving the
No. 96 Lotus-Climax 19b S 2500 car, won the Daytona Continental
completing 82 laps and averaging 104.101 mph in what was the
fastest sports car race ever run in the United States.
February 18, 1962: One of NASCAR’s popular drivers Glenn
“Fireball” Roberts finally won a major event in his hometown
when he captured his first and only Daytona 500 victory in the No.
22 Pontiac. Roberts earned the pole, won one of the qualifiers and
captured the American Challenge invitational for 1961 winners.

1962 Daytona Continental in the
No. 96 Lotus-Climax 19b S 2500.
